Basically this. For a very long time the builders have asked for a lot of the available shapes to be removed from the creative menu and made available to normal players.
The biggest restriction to this was a limitation in how block shapes and recipes functioned. In a20 this issue was resolved with the new shape system, and it also unlocked the ability to have a much larger variety of block shapes than the game had previously.

If you don't like to see all of the shapes, turn on the simpler view, or limit it to looking at shapes you have favorited.

I don't think I would be wrong in saying that an extremely large majority of players is extremely thankful for the new system.
